Grand jury indicts 4 on Friday

Devin L. Clements, 20, and Lacy L. Diamond, 23, were indicted in connection to a robbery and vehicle theft last fall, according to the indictment.

Clements was charged with second-degree robbery for allegedly using force, or threatening to use force, to take someone’s property on Oct. 7, 2011. Diamond was charged with aiding and abetting.

Those are class ‘B’ felonies that can carry up to 10 years in prison.

They were additionally charged with one count each of first-degree vehicle theft, a less serious class ‘C’ felony that carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.

Diamond was also charged with three counts of fraudulent use of an access device, a ‘C’ felony.

In all, Clements could potentially be facing up to 15 years in prison if convicted; Diamond, 30.

The grand jury also indicted a suspected drunken driver who prosecutors say led police on a high-speed chase in Mendenhall Valley Tuesday.

Devin W. Moorhouse, 26, was charged with two counts of first-degree failure to stop at the direction of a peace officer, as well as two counts of third-degree assault for recklessly placing his passenger in fear of physical injury and for causing her physical injury.

Both those offenses are class ‘C’ felonies.

Moorhouse faces a possible maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, if convicted on all charges.

Harley C. Woods, 34, was indicted on multiple child sex abuse charges for allegedly engaging in sexual contact with a child known to him under 13 years old. The charges stem from conduct ranging from January 2009 to March 2012, according to the indictment.

Woods was charged with one count of attempted first-degree sexual abuse of a minor and five counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, a ‘B’ felony.
